SHILLONG, MAY 1: Deputy Chief Minister in-charge PWD (Roads) Prestone Tynsong on Wednesday reviewed the implementation of the Shillong-Dawki road project and the land acquisition for the Shillong Western Bypass.
Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said, “I did a review meeting with the National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) and all concerned departments for Shillong-Dawki road and for Shillong Western Bypass and right now everything is on track.”
He informed that as far as the Shillong Western Bypass is concerned, possession of land has been partly handed over to the NHIDCL by both the deputy commissioners of Ri Bhoi and East Khasi Hills Districts.
“Very soon, we will be able to handover the entire stretch of the road length to the NHIDCL as work orders have been issued to the contractors (for starting the construction of the bypass),” Tynsong said.
Asked, the deputy CM informed that work for Shillong Dawki road has just resumed again.
